This movie is known by several titles including Bôkô honban, Lustmord & Pleasure Kill. It was remade in 1996 as Splatter: Naked Blood, again directed by Hisayasu Satõ.
This movie introduces the main characters quickly, a brief sex scene (this is a pink film) and then rolls along right to the finish. It gets progressively bloodier, violent and bizarre. Definitely has a disturbed quality to it but as someone that avoids slasher horror movies as too upsetting, Pleasure Kill was an easy watch. In part maybe because better special effects were not in the budget. Or the progressive nature that didn't offer a sudden surprise. Rather gradual.
One thing that sets this apart from other horror movies is the unique use of food, flowers and other things.
As a pink film there are several sex scenes. Only one was erotic and the scene ended with some minor terror.
It really was well done with a very good cast. It's shortcomings were probably related to the low budget. Satõ often works with a low budget.
Still I recommend watching even if you normally don't watch horror movies.
